Take Care, however, is not growing like MinuteClinic. Merchant Medicine reported that the Walgreens-owned chain had a net loss of two locations in 2011 — and the analyst doesn’t expect that trend to change in 2012.

A contract dispute between Walgreens and the pharmacy benefit management company Express Scripts could limit the pharmaceutical chain’s ability to expand its retail clinic business, according to Merchant Medicine.
